Wormwood Flowers

History: Wormwood (Artemisia scoparia) is commonly confused with Absinthe (Artemisia absinthium). Wormwood is native to Asia and is considered to have toxic components. It was used as an aromatic-bitter for anorexia, as a digestive tonic, to promote menstruation and to reduce fever and expel worms. Wormwood was used in the liqueur absinthe. Prolonged consumption of this drink became known as 'absinthism'. The symptoms of absinthism included auditory and visual hallucinations, hyper excitability, intellectual enfeeblement, addiction and in extreme cases brain damage. It is widely believed that it was absinthe that drove the painter Vincent van Gogh to suicide. In 1915 the French banned the production of a drink called absinthe because of its narcotic and habit-forming properties.
